Going back to around 4pm yesterday/Friday as we get off the phone with Coach Randy Norris Sr. who called to tell us you better get on over to Dudley, because the traffic is backing up, and this place is going to be filling up quickly, and YES, there will be a Homecoming Parade too, so if you want to get in here, you better get on over here NOW brother…Oh brother, and we didn’t have Van Denton to back us up on this next one, but We Have Rain and other weather elements looming in the skies above us…
This is the formula for what could be a Wet and Wild One over at Tarpley Stadium for this Friday Night Feature with the Page Pirates visiting the Dudley Panthers…Bryant Roche had the preview of this game in the Friday edition of the Greensboro News and Record, and just for the record, as we were hustling to get over to Lincoln Street, and our destination of James B. Dudley High School, we got a call from Bryant, and he was readily available to back up what Coach Norris was telling us earlier, with just a few vital words, and those key words of information were, “I Am Stuck in Traffic on East Gate City Blvd.”…..
Bryant Roche went to tell us that the cars were backed up and it was going to be very tough/hard to get in there and the cars were moving very slowly, almost like dead turtles…Got another call from Coach Norris and he said, he was in at Dudley High School, but he had turned around in the traffic and he came in the back way…He went back toward Florida Street and crossed over to Tuscaloosa…But he was IN….
Still driving and Bryant Roche was still on the line, and he said even though the line of traffic was running long, he felt like he was able to channel the spirit of Bobby Booche and he/Bryant was In…Coach Norris in there, and Bryant was In the House that Davis Built…
I braced myself for the worst, but I also recalled the famous words that broke the curse…They told Bobby Booche in The Waterboy something that made him click/go…Those now famous words of encouragement/inspiration were, YOU CAN DO IT….YOU CAN DO IT…YOU CAN DO IT….
So while held up in that maze of traffic I repeated that phrase about 227 times, and then I looked up, and the traffic was moving, and low and behold before you know, and I sure knew it, I WAS IN…Made it in with more than plenty of time to spare, and the most important thing of all, at least it felt that way to me, I WAS IN….
Well, that is one of those dramatic openings that they say comes maybe every 100-2OO years up on Broadway, in the big New York City, but we had it on Friday night, and it wasn’t coming to you from the Steven Tanger Center, we were going Broadway right there on Lincoln Street, in little old Greensboro, N.C.
The name of our production was, Somehow I Got In, and with the raising of the curtain, let’s call on our main players to bring us what we like to call, The Saturday Morning Rewind….
